Joti Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Love the Volkswagen badge! <3Cheers Em, I'm dead chuffed with it too - something a bit different The other thing I was contemplating was a set of spacers, but when I measured the distance to the arch, the maximum I could go is 15mm all round and then that's still marginal as to whether the tyre would then catch on the arch under load.I don't want to go there again, because my last 2 cars had the tyre catching the arch, and within no time you then get rusting in that area Don't think I can justify spending about £140 for 4 decent spacers, just to push the wheel out 1½cm on each corner......... Saying that if I knew it would not rub for sure, I probably would.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 My 25mm per side spacers were 50 for the pair good quality, bolts included and galvanised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 like the vw badge but really not keen on the stripe makes it look awfy cluttered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 like the vw badge but really not keen on the stripe makes it look awfy clutteredNo worries Jamie, the stripe was a personal thing for me rather than a styling choice and if I'm honest, even I was not too sure about it within a week of getting it done, but now when I look at older pics of the car before it was fitted, I think it looks too plain without one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sorry for the abundance of photos, but every pic prior to these was taken with my mobile phone, and I just took some more with a digital camera to see if there was an improvement in clarity.Tell me if you can see a difference in quality......

Joti Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) That it was awesome Lupo GTI!!Looks well nice & super clean Those wheels are very nice, I'm jealous! LolGood work mate!Cheers chap, glad you like!A lot of people were lukewarm about the wheels before they saw them on the car, probably because I did not follow "Club Lupo Protocol" and slap some BBS on , but it's nice of you to say so Edited July 18, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 yup thats exactly why, BBS are bollox tbf, everyone has them, yes they are nice wheels etc but 80% of dubs have them and thats what puts me off them. Gimme a nice set of retro wheels any day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme a nice set of retro wheels any day!Saying that, I really like the wheels on James' yellow Arosa Sport (and they are BBS), and Mike M's were nice (someone on here bought them for a black Lupo if I remember correctly) but the normal cross hatch multi-spoke ones are done to death, and do nothing for me..... it's the motoring equivalent of buying Apple products - just because all your mates have them I guess I'm a bit of a non-conformist in that respect - if everyone is following one trend, I'll got another route on purpose just not to be a sheep Edited July 18, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never clayed mine or anything like that - just a simple jetwash and chamois is all my car gets! and now i think im going against exactly what i said and getting some cheap ass Lenso's for mine just to nail the stance :/That's OK, so long as you don't go sticking BBS centre caps on them!
